Installing the Reader • Reset Procedure To reset the Ethernet module 2 procedures are available: - Reboot the device: it is used to reinitialize the communication with your network. - Reset the device to TAGSYS default factory settings: it is used when you can no more communicate with the reader due to wrong WIFI settings. Both reset procedures are available by software via the WEB or TELNET interface.
Medio P101-Ethernet • Safety Statements To avoid contact with electrical current: - Never install electrical wiring during an electrical storm - Never install an Ethernet connection in wet locations unless that connector is specifically designed for wet locations - Use caution when installing or modifying Ethernet lines - Do not place Ethernet wiring or connections in any conduit, outlet or junction box containing electrical wiring - Installation of inside wire may bring you close to electrical
Installing the Reader You can now configure your Ethernet network to link the reader or follow the ADDP procedure to change the basic network IP settings. If you decide to configure your Ethernet network to meet the default settings of the reader, you can check your system is operational by pinging the reader using then “ping 192.168.0.2” MSDOS command prompt. 4.2.3 ADDP procedure (Advanced DigiConnect Discovery Device) Firewalls may block ADDP broadcast protocol.
Medio P101-Ethernet Select the correct Static IP, Subnet mask and Default Gateway or check the automatic setting in case a DHCP protocol is available on your network. Then, click Save. The reader starts to rebooting and the window closes. Back to the main window, double-click once again on the device. The WEB interface opens in the Internet Explorer browser (caution to the proxy settings of your internet browser connection, it must be set to allow access to this device).
Installing the Reader 4.3 Communicate with the USB Interface At first connection to the PC USB port, Windows® will detect the TAGSYS Medio P101-Ethernet reader and will ask you for drivers installation. USB drivers are located into the USB Drivers folder on the product CD-Rom. Two drivers must be installed: - The first one is the direct driver, which provides direct access to USB device via a dynamic link library (DLL). - The second one is the virtual COM port (VCP) driver.
Medio P101-Ethernet Power up and connect your Medio P101-Ethernet to a spare USB port on your PC. This should bring up a “Building Driver Information Database” followed by the Windows Add New Hardware Wizard. Select “Search for the best driver for your device” and then click “Next” Select “Specify a location” and click the Browse button to select the USB Drivers folder on the Product CR-Rom.
